What happens if you swim with your eyes open underwater in a chlorine swimming pool?

In brief:
Eye irritation

It can create a mild chemical burn on the skin covering the white of the eye (conjunctiva) and the clear window of the eye (cornea). Although it is not dangerous, it is very uncomfortable. If you have sensitive eyes or are at a pool with a high chlorine level, wear swim goggles or a mask.
